Family seeks revival of MySpace suit over alleged sex assault:
The Texas family that had tried to sue MySpace over their daughter’s sexual assault is trying to get the suit revived.
The victim, only known as Julie Doe was 14 when she was sexually assaulted by then 19-year-old Pete Solis. Solis had met his victim over MySpace. He’s now in prison for the sexual assault.
However, the family of Julie Doe sued MySpace for 30 million dollars. The lawsuit was summarily dismissed. Now the family is asking the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans to overturn the dismissal.
As much as I sympathize with the family for what their daughter went through, I just have to reiterate that MySpace is not at fault, and this comes off as just a grab for money.
